I so enjoyed this ep, it was exactly what I needed to hear last night, and I may have listened to it three times in total. It is so empowering to remember we aren't actually beholden to these apps - it is so easy to forget that when you have been wrapped up in the dopamine hit of positive interaction, and think that is the norm, so keep working hard to get the same when forces out of your control have completely changed the entire narrative of the app while you weren't looking. I have been thinking a lot about something someone in our SYS community said last night, paraphrasing - this is our story, we get to choose what tools we use to help us tell it, the tools don't get to use us. And we can use them in whatever ways not only help us tell our story, but in what ever ways we find FUN. Listening to this conversation has also really got me thinking more about a podcast idea I have had for a while too - and that sort of content feels so much more intimate, nurturing and community driven than a tiny post in a feed that is not getting seen. You two are such gems (and thank you Vic for asking the question!)
